About You

We're keen to speak with recruiters who enjoy the challenge of identifying exceptional technical talent and building relationships in competitive markets.

Ideally, you'll bring:

• c.4 - 6 years' experience recruiting Quantitative Developers or similarly hard-to-reach technical talent, with experience in an agency or executive search environment particularly welcomed.

• A proactive, creative approach to engaging candidates who aren't actively looking for new opportunities.
